Our favorite Atlanta magazine, Jezebel, is sponsoring a great little soiree at one of Atlanta’s many vendor co-ops, Bridal Bar. It’s a great chance to meet a number of vendors in person. Jessica and I are planning to attend, to hang out with our friends in the business and to talk to our great brides and brides-to-be, too. Come on out–wedding folks know how to throw a great party!

One of the reasons Jessica and I love what we do is because we get to deal with happy people—blissful brides and grooms all the time. We love the blessing of helping people preserve the memories of starting a life together, of being surrounded by family, of celebrating a life well lived. This alone would be enough to keep us happy for a good, long time.
But recently we had another type of honor bestowed upon Sublime. The kind where the people who know what you do best—your peers—need your input. Rangefinder Magazine came calling, asking her to be part of an article called “A Conversation with the Pros.” Sublime is one of five companies selected by the magazine, which wanted an article in which five ‘prolific’ photographers talk about doing business in today’s abysmal economy. Jessica’s answers are featured in the June issue of Rangefinder, along with some gorgeous pictures, her pretty little mug, and a nice bio. She’s in good company, too—Robert Evans, Jim Garner, Rachel LaCour Niesen and Anthony Vazquez were also tapped by the magazine for the article.
You can see the article on Rangefinder’s site: www.rangefindermag.com. It’s smack-dab at the top of their article list for this month. it’s called State of the Industry- ‘A Conversation with the Pros.’ Read it and please, feel free to be impressed. It’s a big, stinking deal! And if you see Jessica, give her a hug and tell her how great she is–it’s true!

Lia's veil gets a little lift while she gets a little kiss...
I love Lia and Rob. Oh sure, they’re nice people, totally sweet and very very in love. Definitely all of that. But the very selfish photographer in me loves them because they wanted great pictures from their wedding, and gave us time and free reign to do whatever we wanted. That is pretty much, a wedding photographer’s dream. But in all seriousness, I was touched with how very in love they are with each other. Lia really seemed to just…relish being with Rob. That’s the best way I know how to put it. And we would catch him gazing at her all day long. In between all that love-dovey-ness, we managed to capture some really special stuff:
This was supposed to be a practice dip. As you can imagine, we didn't need do-over. Yowza!
Lia is gorgeous. Yup, that about sums it up.
Hurrying out of the ceremony...
...so they can do some of this!
Of course they were hungry from all that kissing, so Jessica picked us all up some McDonald's. Ba-dap-ba-bap-baaaaaa... we're lovin' it!
Lia is originally from Trinidad...
...so she hired this awesome Moko Jumbie (stilt dancer) and a steel band to entertain the guests! It was really, really fun!
Other fun details included personalized Texas Pete's (Rob loves the stuff)...
...Lia's shiny, shiny shoes...
...her geeee-orgeous bouquet...
...and the personalized cake topper.
Did I mention how AWESOME their bridal party is? Oh, and there's another killer dip...
One last kiss...
...before they leave...
Congratulations guys! Thanks so much for being so great, and for letting us be part of your day!

I was a magazine journalism major in college, so I am naturally drawn to all things in print. I remember in middle school I used to have huge stacks of Seventeen, Sassy (remember Sassy?), and TigerBeat. That’s right, I read TigerBeat, thank you very much. Till this day, I still have magazines strewn around my house because I just love reading about people, and clothes, and accessories, how-tos and please dont’s. So, even now that I have had my work published a few times, I still get all giddy at the sight of my name in print. It may not be a whole 15 minutes of fame, but to me it is pretty cool to see my own byline inside a real magazine.
So, a few days ago while I was flipping through all the new glossies, I happened to run across the fantastic new issue of Jezebel. Now, I knew there would be a chance that one of the images would make it in, but in the magazine biz, you can’t really be sure until the issue hits the stands. I thumbed through the pages, and was so excited to see Lisa and Tyler featured on page 70. They were such a sweet couple to photograph, so I am so glad that their image was chosen for the May issue. Congratulations guys! Now go out a grab yourself a copy. There is so much more in Jezebel than my little byline, like maybe, Jada Pinkett Smith.

I am honestly not even sure where to start with this wedding. With the couple, who are sweet and young and so very, very enamored with each other? With their wonderful parents, who made us feel so at home from day one? With Katherine’s family farm, where their 600 guests gathered under a palatial tent and danced and ate and celebrated their newly married friends?
Let’s start with Katherine and Scotty. They have been together for seven years, graduated from college a week before their wedding, and are clearly going to accomplish so much good together. Katherine is smart and beautiful and quick to laugh and Scotty is handsome and charming and, well, let’s just say that he was so starstruck when he saw Katherine in her gown that I thought we might have to pull him out of the lake from a dead faint. They were such good sports to brave the on-and-off downpour of the morning to take pictures by the barn, the lake, and under her daddy’s gourd stands. But I think they are pretty pleased with the pictures we got.
Luckily by the time everyone assembled at the church, the clouds parted and gave way to a magnificent May day. After the short and very, very sweet ceremony it was back to the farm for a par-tay under that big ol’ tent. Antique lanterns, hanging candles, burlap runners and a robin’s nest-themed groom’s cake set the tone for a laid-back reception by the barn. In fact, the only thing that wasn’t laid back was the way these folks danced! The band got that dance floor packed within about 5 notes of the first song, and they hardly stopped–there was even a chorus of ‘One More Song! One More Song!’ after Katherine and Scotty left.
We had a hard time picking the photographs for the slideshow, and an even harder time narrowing it down for pictures for the blog. But here are the results of our efforts… Enjoy them…I know the happy newlyweds will!
